The Cat and other GMs, How do you all feel about removing the unowned teams in the league? To me, it makes sense to remove the unowned teams because essentially none will have much talent after this season. It will also give us owners a better indication as to the talent our respective teams in respect to the real teams in the league since our records will not be bloated with wins against the scrub teams of the league. To Cat, it will also help you since you don't have to manage those teams in respect to adding and subtracting players to make a full roster after the draft and in the season. You can just put the unowned players in a common FA pool and/or a CBA type league. The way I would implement it is to do a full relocation/renaming of each franchise according to geographic location. I am in memphis, and so I could name my team the memphis beale streeters. If there are more than one person, such as houston, do it by subdivsions, the klein bulldogs or the west 34 street construction workers. On relocation, divide the teams into two leagues with equally good and bad teams now. Depending on the amount of teams in the league, come up with a good playoff senario. I personally like the top 4 teams in each league play. Every year have an expansion draft, where new GMs join. In order for them to get a full team, have the other own teams unprotect half of their team (six player of their choice). Then have a rookie draft and a free agent signing period, where the worst teams get first choice, then on down the line. On the free agent signings, if I had the worst record, then I get first choice of the unowned players. If I have a full team when I chose, then I must release one of my players to the FA pool. CAT and other GMs I know this sounds like a lot of stuff, but man I think the league would be so great like this and fun too. I would sure be even more interested. Please give it some consideration. ------------------ I am an invisible man.
I will play around with this later, but as far as I know its not possible to do this on the game I have... there is a maximum of 4 "custom teams" which would be teams with new names, and I don't know how and don't think it's possible to delete teams from the league. My plan, and what I hope happens, is to completely remove all "scrub teams" after a season or two. Your idea is not bad; but I still believe we can fill out this league and get all 29 or at least 25 of the teams with GMs, and have it very competitive. However, I'm open to anything you guys like, so reply back with some suggestions if you can. ------------------ President of the Mo Taylor, Jason Collier, and draft Richard Jefferson fan club!
